DLC's/Expansions that add actual content to an already complete game a la The Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn- Yay
Not always true, let's not forget Resident Evil 5s Versus mode which was seen as a micro-transaction. The files for the mode was already on our release discs. Should be viewed as an expansion, however because you just purchase a data key to gain access of something you technically own, it's actually a micro-transaction purchase.
But yeah, for the most part expansions are awesome and very different with how they work. It's basically a large extention towards a game. Usually a third the size of the game it's for.
Best one I recall is The Shivering Isles because it's better than the base game. Day-one 'expansions' though are when publishers chop up games and disrespect the interested audience for further profit. And because most are on the disc, it's a micro-transaction purchase. Ubisoft and Square Enix do it quite often.

I never and never will buy microtransactions they're cancer.
Admirable, but with how games function within the past decade you're missing out on almost 50% most games content with that stance.
